@author.rene: Minjeong had always believed Jimin was out of her league. Jimin was kind to everyone, effortlessly charming, smart, and the type of person people naturally wanted to be around. Minjeong couldn't understand why someone like Jimin would ever choose someone like her. So she never confessed. Instead, she loved Jimin quietly. She remembered Jimin's favorite snacks. Saved her a seat whenever they were together. Walked her home even when it meant taking the longer route. Whenever Jimin forgot something, Minjeong was somehow already prepared for it. She never expected anything in return. To Minjeong, simply being allowed to stay beside Jimin was enough. Her friends, however, knew exactly what was happening. “You're completely in love with her.” Minjeong rolled her eyes. “No, I'm not.” “You remember her coffee order better than your own.” “That's different.” “You literally carry extra snacks because she likes them.” “She gets hungry.” Her friends laughed. “Just confess already.” Minjeong shook her head. “She could do better.” That sentence became her favorite excuse. Whenever someone suggested that Jimin might like her, Minjeong dismissed it. “She's just being nice.” Whenever Jimin complimented her, Minjeong assumed she was joking. Whenever Jimin chose to sit beside her, Minjeong thought it was coincidence. Then one afternoon, everything changed. Minjeong was sitting with her friends when one of them asked, “Seriously, why don't you think Jimin would like you?” Minjeong looked across the room. Jimin was laughing with some classmates. She smiled softly. “Because she deserves someone better than me.” Unfortunately, Jimin was walking past them. She heard every word. She stopped. Minjeong didn't notice until Jimin quietly asked, “Do you really think that?” Everyone went silent. Minjeong's eyes widened. “You heard that?” “All of it.” Minjeong looked away. “I didn't mean—” “Yes, you did.” Jimin sat beside her. For a moment, neither spoke. Then Jimin asked quietly, “Why do you think you get to decide who I deserve?” Minjeong stared at her. “I just know you could have anyone.” “I don't want anyone.” Minjeong's heart skipped. Jimin continued. “I want the person who remembers the smallest things about me.” She looked at Minjeong. “The person who always makes sure I get home safely.” Minjeong swallowed. “The person who gives me the last piece of cake even though I know she wanted it.” A tiny smile appeared on Jimin's face. “And the person who thinks she's not good enough for me.” Minjeong finally whispered, “Jimin…” Jimin shook her head. “You keep saying I could do better.” She gently smiled. “But you never asked me what I wanted.” Minjeong stared at her. “And what do you want?” Jimin's answer was simple. “You.” For once, Minjeong had absolutely nothing to say. And Jimin couldn't help but laugh. “See? Even now you're speechless.” Minjeong smiled shyly. “I'm just trying to understand how I got this lucky.” Jimin smiled back. “You didn't.” She nudged Minjeong's shoulder. “I chose you.”

Reneee.
